On the whole, i am supportive of this project, and i will turn it over to the director. Thank you, commissioner. I will emphasize this is 25 affordable. It is a pretty su substantial number of affordable. To commissioner johnsons point, it is common in much of the city to have taller buildings at the corners especially in the commercial districts. It is common in the richmond and Pacific Heights with the multiple story buildings with lower rise Single Family or two family between, and because this is on a major transit line, as many of you pointed out, this felt like the right place for this amount of density. With respect to the transition. This is a very narrow lot. It would be extremely difficult, i think, to carve out some parts of this building without losing more units and getting into that whole discussion about the loss of units with respect to other aspects of city law and policy. I think on the whole weared on the side of saying this was the right project in the right place a

I want to second your motion. Thank you. Commissioner fong. It is interesting that the flow in terms of or waves, if you will, of Housing Development in our city. If you look at this area, you know, the first great wave was after the war when sun stream and those People Developers built quite a few of the homes here. They built it on a relatively small scale for the returning g is. As i indicated at a previous time, perhaps the norm of what we are seeing in San Francisco changed. We are now getting these 5, 6, 7 story pop ups, walk ups similar to the larger cities that we have had.
Perspective what the neighborhood would look like. The actual package should have the materials on the elevation drawings and there should be a rendering in there as well from the corner of 45th. We supplemented the visual with an additional rendering of the building looking back from 45th avenue towards the north. That is the only one. The main rendering from the corner of 45th and judah. Commissioner johnson. I live in a sister neighborhood of this project in the richmond, and in the richmond we have Single Family homes, we have two to four story buildings, we have multifamily units and we have huge buildings, particularly on the outer sunset side close to the ocean. Around the 1980s there was a shift to down zone different parts of the city including this neighborhood. I think one of the folks who came to speak in favor of the project shared that. For so many of us living in multifamily buildings or want to live in other neighborhoods there is limited supply. The only buildings left
Were certainly not approve approved opposed to affordable housing. What i would like to ask you is to think of ways that maybe we can slow this project down so we can have a broader conversation about what does the next 10, 15 years of Development Look like for the corridor and is it his office and if they are eager to be involved in that effort in many of us are in touch with him about how that can get started. Thank you to listening to us all today. We appreciate your time. Any other Public Comment on this item . Okay. Public comment is closed. I live on 304th and lincoln i have to walk 12 blocks to get a cup of coffee. So i make my own. We have three transit corridor doors in the sunset. This one is right on the train tracks. This is the definition of what we see every thursday as an opportunity site. It is a site that is empty. [please stand by] this is category exempt. I have to look at the actual environmental document to see if there was testing done. I am happy to chime in here
